I barely remember what happened after I got knocked out again, I install look to see if sky's box is still in my sock "thank god your safe" I whisper bring the box close to my chest. I look at my surrounding, in in a room similar to mine, I fell my heart beating a mile a minute I notice my crutch near the door it's almost seven feet way. "why is it over there" I sigh staring at the edge of the bed, I get on the ground and pull myself over to get it. as I start shuffling I hear the door crack open, I ignore it and continue moving toward my crutch. "howdy" someone says, I turn around seeing a boy around my age with a very light brown hair, and beautiful kiwi colored eyes. "my's name Evan" he laughts "or 767877 " I give him a funny look noticing a skin peeling burn going up his left arm. "its rude to stare you know" Evan giggles, he reaches out his hand covered with a napkin, of course, he doesn't want to touch me, I sigh "sorry" I point to my cruth "the truth is I can't" Evan smile cutting of my sentence "no problem" he says getting my crutch. "here" he smiles handing me my crutch, "you may be a little dizzy when you first stand up so be careful" he says softly. "ill be fine" I say giving him a side-eye, I quickly stand up getting really dizzy almost falling over, "told you" evan laughted "maybe next time you'll lisen to me" he smiles "whatever" I snap doing a little hop with my crutch. Evan gives me a sharp glare, "what wing are you from?" I stare at his sharp eyes, feeling a shiver of fear run down my spine, I bite my lip in fear. every second we stand there I bite my lip a little harder till blood drizzles down my chin, all of my strength seems to fade away if not for my crutch I would be on the floor. "you're from the x-medical wing aren't you" he hissed "aren't you!" I look away trying to avoid his eye contact, he walks forward to grasp my shirt. he lifts me up, I fell my crutch slip threw my hand falling to the floor as I pull on his arm trying to loosen his grip. I let go letting my body hang there motionless "yes" I mutter, his hand let go as I crash to the floor. "will I get sick from touching you" he askes, I shake my head "no, kids with illness are confited to there room, I'm only in the x-medical wing cause of my leg so you won't get sick." Evan once again smiles picking me up bridal style. after placing me on the bed, he sits down across playing with my hair. "ist strange right" I whisper"not really" even smiles running threw my hair with his fingers "well, now that I know your not going to infect me lets be friends."Evan says still playing with my hair, I look down at the bed and smile "okay, then can I ask you about your burn" I look up meeting his eyes "you need to tell me about you first" he smiles. "well I'm 761757" I say with him cutting threw "no what's your name?" I look at him and smile "alexander, Alex for short, I'm 12 and have lived in the x-medical wing my whole life" Evan laughs again "really, well I'm Evan, I'm 12 like you, I've lived in the right general wing, I was born with a birthmark that resembles a second degree burn on my left arm and my skin peels really easily." we take a moment to laugh I've never been around a boy my age before that was willing to touch me. "you really don't think my hairs that strange?" I ask, Evan slightly turns his head staring at my hair "I meant its white which is a weird color, but it's cool like the main character in the books the caretakers would read us" Evan smiles. "what about my eyes?" I ask leaning closer. he brushes my face with his hand moving back my hair, with his face as red as a tomato, "Alex" he whispers "why are you blushing?" "I'm not" I yell moving back embarrassed, "your eyes there really handsome" Evan whispers "there both ruby red, but your right eye has a swirl of blue." I smile "like a ying-yang" which was Ava's favorite about my eyes, he nodes "we should really get some sleep."
